New Flights To Croatia From Dubai

In December, Flydubai starts a new route to Zagreb in Croatia. There will be three flights a week (Tuesday, Friday and Sunday) as part of a steady expansion and in the expectation of boosting trade and tourism with eastern Europe. Flight time is approximately six hours.

This follows on from an announcement in March, by the United Arab Emirates government, of a new policy of visa on arrival for Croatian citizens and 12 other nationalities.

Dubai travel experts believe the sparsity of direct flights from Croatia and other destinations, such as Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was keeping Croatian tourists away despite promotions by the Croatia Tourist Board in 2012 and 2013. The new flights will also, of course, attract new tourists to Croatia!
